To deliver effect an effective way of managing real time data transfer and exploitation between peers is required. The Common Services Platform (CSP) which is the subject of this RFI should include data prioritisation that is compatible with dynamic routing solutions and be functional where data is encrypted. Suppliers and market experts are invited to complete this RFI, to provide insight and experience in the subject matter. Further detail can be found within the attached document which can be found on the Defence Sourcing Portal. *Update 15/4/25* The RFI deadline has been extended to 02/05/2025 ### Planning Information Please find further information including notice attachement on DSP link here: https://contracts.mod.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=59660 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/015129-2025 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Apr 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 2 May 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 May 2025 - 2 May 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | PORTSMOUTH | | Post town | Portsmouth | | Postcode | PO2 8BY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ31 Portsmouth | | Local authority | Portsmouth | | Electoral ward | Nelson | | Westminster constituency | Portsmouth North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment ### Codes - 35711000 - Command, control, communication systems - 35712000 - Tactical command, control and communication systems ## Release History - 15 Apr 2025 at 08:08 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/015129-2025 - 21 Mar 2025 at 12:23 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010650-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/015129-2025 15th April 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010650-2025 21st March 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://contracts.mod.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=59660 - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-defence - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
